Navy Nurses

 
Happy Halloween all, this morning  I would like to share a pretty card with you using the digi Navy Nurse stamp from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  This stamp only comes as a digi stamp and can be used for so many different occasions.  Let me show you how it came together.
 
 
 
To start the card I embossed a piece of blue cardstock using a Sizzix embossing folder.  Nuvo Mother of Pearl Mousse was applied to the raised areas using my finger.  This really created a beautiful shimmer to my cardstock.
 
 

Next the image was re sized,  printed using the color stamp and cut out using the Silhouette.  Sparkle was added using the Quicky Glue Pen and Sequin Gold.  A small scalloped circle was punched using a circle punch from Fisker.  The image was placed on top of the scalloped circle using foam dots.




To finish off the card I placed a piece of white cardstock diagonally across the card and cut off excess cardstock.  Next 1/4" and 1/8" Tear-ific Tape was placed diagonally on top of the white cardstock.  The protective backing was removed from the 1/4" tape and glittered using Sequin Gold glitter.  The remaining 1/8" tape was glittered using Cobalt Glaze glitter.
 


 
Being a military mom I was so glad to see a military stamp in this month's reveal!  I hope you will hop on over and see all the beautiful digi stamp sets, they are so much fun to play with and can be sized to fit any project. 
 
Thanks for stopping by have a fun and safe day and remember.....Keep Stamping!

Best Fishes

 
Good morning all today I would like to  share a cute masculine card with you using the new Gus Fish Whisper digi stamp from Sparkle N Sprinkle and a technique to create your own camouflage paper.  Let's get started!
 
 


To get started the camouflage paper was created using this tutorial, vanilla cardstock, Mowed Lawn Distress, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink and Memento Espresso Truffle ink.  This is a really fun technique and could be created with colors to match your project.  Once the camouflage panel was created it was layered onto brown cardstock and placed on the card base.
 


 
Next Gus was sized and printed out using the color digi stamp.  A little sparkle was added using the Nuvo Small Glue Pen, Waterfall, Creamsicle and Margarita glitter.  Clear Crystal Drops were used on his glass and fish.  Margarita glitter was added around the edges using the Nuvo Medium Glue Pen. The panel was then layered onto brown cardstock and placed on top of the card base. 
 

 
Twine was wrapped around the card base and tied in a bow. 
 


The sentiment was printed and die cut using the Tonic Eastern Oyster Layering Dies.  The edges were glittered the same as the image panel.  It was placed on the card using foam dots
 
Thanks so much for stopping by hope you have a wonderful day and remember.....Keep Stamping!!

Hope you are enjoying the blog hop and all the beautiful projects!!!  The stamp sets were all so pretty it was hard to pick one, but I picked the pretty Lovely as a Leaf stamp set for my  project. 
 
 
 
 Come along while I show you how it came together.
 
 
 
The large leaf image was stamped onto watercolor paper using the Tim Holtz's Stamping Platform.  The paper was left in the platform and colored using Nuvo Aquamarkers.  Once dry the image was stamped a second time using Versamark ink and embossed using Coffee embossing powder.  The leaf was then fussy cut out.
 
 
The borders was die cut using a Anna Griffin border die.  The outline border was die cut using sticker paper, the backing was removed and the die cut border was placed on top.  The sticky areas were then glittered using Tiger Orange glitter to create a pretty sparkly border piece for my card.  Small drops of Bottle Green Crystal Drops were added to the border. 
 
 
The sentiment was stamped with brown ink and glittered using the Small Nuvo Glue Pen and Bronze Splendor glitter.  Small leaves were punched using a punch from Fisker.
 
 
Thanks so much for stopping by your next stop on the blog is the very talented Diane!!
 
Have fun and good luck to you all!!

Delight in the Beauty

Good morning everyone, I would to share a gatefold card with you today made using the digi Lovely Magnolia stamp set.  This beautiful stamp set is from Sparkle N Sprinkle and it comes in rubber as well.  Let me show you how it came together.
 

 
To create the gatefold base I used the beautiful Elizabeth die from Crafter's Companion.  Small drops of Pearl White Crystal Drops were added.
 
 


 Closer look at all of the detail on the edges.




The pretty magnolia was enlarged, printed and cut out using the Silhouette.  A shadow layer was also cut out using the Silhouette.  Sparkle was added using the Nuvo Small Glue Pen, Sunny Daze and Spirited Green glitter.
 



 
The sentiment was also enlarged, and the smaller magnolias were placed in the corner.  This was printed out and placed inside the card.  A strip of 1/2" tear-ific tape was placed along the edges and glittered using Sunny Daze glitter.
 
Hope you have enjoyed my digi gatefold card, I really had fun making it!!
 
Have a great day and remember.....Keep Stamping!!
